If you work in an office, think about the most annoying co-worker, subordinant, or boss you have at the moment. Then tell me the one thing that he/she did most recently to set you off. (No long background stories please, just the behavior that got you.)
I will be selecting one example from the comments today to make my Sunday comic that will run on 8/13. This is your chance for revenge. (I might use more ideas for other comics, but I’ll guarantee that one date.)
I will be ignoring all stories involving food, beverages, bathroom humor and speaker phones. Those are overdone.
The best sorts of stories are the ones where someone caused more work or more trouble than necessary. Any form of frustration is comic gold. So is misinterpretation and miscommunication. I also like all forms of lying: tall tales, omissions, misdirection, and nuance. Those make the best comics.
Make me proud.
